Formal assessment may entail self-assessment and/or assessment by an independent external reviewer. This assessment may take place in the context of an accreditation process for the organisation.

A formal assessment, whether self-assessed or externally reviewed, should involve a number of aspects, including the planning and development of a clear structure for the assessment process, the use of an accepted evaluation method such as a peer review, and the use of validated tools where these are available.
